Poultry hints.

Poultry hints.
Hens that are confined in summer must
have green food. 1t is an easy matter TO
pluck a few handfuls of green grass each
morning and give 10 the poultry. Brt II Is
essential, and very few hens will lay with
out green diet in some form.
When n hen goes 10 setting, then Is tne
time 10 call her out, if she be a poor spccl-
men she will be nuisance around the
nests, md even if broken up will be dead
loss for some time, as a len Will not
ordinarily begin laying again for two weeks
or more.
The run of henhouse should be dug up
every morning. Each time the yard IS
spnded sprinkle in n pint or more of oats.
This will keep The hens busy, and the
grain that escapes biddie will spront in a
few days and afford the poultry dessert
of green oats. -,
Nests in summer time should he filed
with excelsior when easily obtained, not
because it is cooler than hay or grass, but
| for The reason that lice are not so apt to
bread in it. The excelsior is cleaner anu
remains in position better than most ma
| teria!s 1t does not crowd into the cor
ners and leave tho middle of the nest
| bear.
| Young chicks, OF all poultry, cannot be
neglected. They must have lois of care
| and attention. Give the little chicks the
dainty morsels left from the table, plenty
of milk and water and frequent sprinkllnRs
! of buckwheat. Then warm night retreat,
and they will grow like weeds.
Though it is not advisable TO disturb n
sitting hen unnecessarily, yet IL is an easy
task to tell whether or not the eggs are fertile
nfter the eighth day. il the gem he alive,
the eggs will appear Opaque or dark. ex-
cept perhaps n small portion towards the
Top. But if they are not impresnated, the

War against lice and other vermin should

! and liberal use of them will give the fowls
clean quarters.
! Nothing more than general rules can be
laid down. for the feeding of poultry in
summer. The quantity of food depends
solely on the breed of hens. The heavier
fowls, Bramhas, Langshans, and Plymouth
